Hello Everyone, I hope you have had a good week. I thought I would share another of the altered playing cards that I have been making ).
Although I have been following the ideas and techniques from Stephanie Ackerman, I am using different colours and am using them in my small Positivity Journal. I have two to share over the coming week or so, both using the same design on the card, but different colour combinations on the pages.
The background was made with tissue wrap, daubed with distress paints and wiped back in places with a babywipe.
Sprays and masks/stencils create some great texture and contrasting colour …..
…. and tissue tape adds another layer to the depth.
A computer generated quote to help me remember to always try new techniques and look for new ideas.
Another one of these soon.
Have a fabulous week and take care.
hugs Brenda xxx
Love the altered playing card and the journalling page is a perfect finish for it.
